If you wanted to fly jets, you should have invented something totally useless and had that Shamwow guy sell it on early morning infomercials. That way you could afford to pick up some old Russian jet and go bombing around. If you wanted to serve your country as a Naval Officer, one lucky enough to be accepted and make it through any of the training pipelines... then you might be in business. Let me ask you Jimey... say you don't select Tailhook? Do you look the VT Skipper in the face and say "Well in that case sir/ma'am, I'm DOR'ing from the flight pipeline. If I had wanted to fly helos I'd have joined the Army."? The question you asked in itself is harmless enough. Amplifying information can be found with a quick search of the site. The manor your coming across to the great majority of those here though is all sort of wrong. You have zero RIGHT to be part of Naval Aviation. You are PRIVALAGED to have a shot at it.
